Summary:
Four famous Sikh shrines in Delhi including Rakab Ganj and Bangla Sahib Gurudwaras will go green by employing solar energy to meet their daily power needs from April. The solar project will work on Photo Voltaic Effects and around 3,125 solar panels will be placed on rooftops of these gurudwaras for tapping cheap and clean power,” he said. The DSGMC president said the project will generate around 4,000 units power per day, touching approximately 1.3 million units per year. Stating that one mega watt solar power reduces 1,300 tons of carbon dioxide emission per year, he expressed hope that over 25 years, the project will reduce around 30,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide emission. The solar project is a tribute to the 7th Sikh Guru Har Rai whose love for the nature and teaching for its preservation inspire the community to take care of the environment, he added..
